Anarchist Civil Liberies Union

Little known facts about the wonderful ACLU and its founder

Perhaps after reading this some of you may think that a more apropos name for the ACLU would be the Anarchist Civil Liberties Union.

Roger Nash Baldwin founded the ACLU and left the legacy of an institution that is fundamentally un-American and subversive to the principles upon which America was founded.

On January 16, 1981, President Jimmy Carter awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Roger Baldwin, founder of the American Civil Liberties Union and the International League for Human Rights. While lauded as a champion of human and civil rights both domestically and internationally, Dr. Baldwin left behind as his legacy an institution that is fundamentally un-American and subversive to the principles upon which America was founded.

Baldwin, visited the Soviet Union in 1927. He was greatly intrigued by Communism. So enamored by the Soviets that in 1928 he released the book Liberty Under the Soviets. To most, right minded people liberty under the Soviets did not exist. Baldwin, however, looked to the Soviet Union as a sort of “superprogressive” state. Baldwin’s ties with members of the Communist Party in the America were well documented. William Z. Foster and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, two of the first board members of the ACLU, would later become card-carrying Communists.

Despite the ACLU’s efforts to present themselves as the “nation’s guardians of liberty,” their history belies that assertion. History points to a group bent on the destruction of freedom, Christianity, and American way itself. Tom Krannawitter of the Claremont Institute argues that “a powerful faction within the ACLU has been determined to remake America along ‘progressive,’ if not communist lines.”

Among the ACLU’s repertoire of victories are cases involving the defense of Communists, anarchists, Ku Klux Klansmen, and those who sought to overthrow American government. More recently, the ACLU attacked the city of Redlands, California for displaying a small cross in their city’s seal. Unable to face the well-funded and well-staffed ACLU, the debt-ridden city was forced to cower as the pack of ACLU lawyers started to feed. Nearby, Los Angeles County was also under attack for a similar display of the city’s heritage. Why is it that the ACLU attacks a small cross, nestled below the larger and more visible Greek goddess of vegetation on the Los Angeles seal? Because they are bent on the destruction of our country, that’s why.

From its inception, the ACLU has worked to create a new America, one in their own distorted image of what should be. To bring about this deranged agenda the ACLU found it necessary to achieve two main goals: first, the abolishment of Constitutional barriers to governmental power and second, the enervation of man’s soul to make him weak and dependent on government. Both of which move America towards a progressive state and, according to Dr. Krannawitter, are advanced by “removing God from the American mind.”

In order for the ACLU to tear down constitutional barriers to governmental power, they must extinguish America’s fundamental belief in God, since such a belief is an essential denial of the supreme power of government. Our forefathers founded this country on the fact that rights come from God, not government. When God’s presence in the American mindset ceases, however, people no longer look to God as the grantor of rights and the supreme power but to government as the great oracle and omnipotent entity. The ACLU argues that the more power the government has, the better off the people under it are. If anyone looks at the history of the Soviet Union and any other Communist country, one will be apt to find Communist leaders who predicated their form of government on atheism and a secular state religion. This sort of anti-religious atmosphere precludes the existence of any rights beyond that which the government has granted, (enter Hillary and or the Democratic Party).

In addition to the emphasis on “from where we receive our rights” and or governmental power, the ACLU has worked to make people needy and dependent on government. Alexis de Tocqueville warned of those like the ACLU who wished to exacerbate the malignant tendencies of democracy. He explained that the government, if people allow it to do so, will create an incessant dependency of the people on the government as it expands its power under the guise of utility, finally reducing “each nation to being nothing more than a herd of timid and industrious animals of which the government is the shepherd.” The ACLU seeks not only to create a people that are dependent and needy, but also a government that “little by little extinguishes their spirits and enervates their souls” by giving them all they want, so that they will be naively content without hopes, dreams, or a will of their own. This is a sort of despotism unlike any other.

Christianity is an antidote to the ACLU’s despotism and poison that is dependency on the government. It goes hand-in-hand with limited government and personal responsibility since it instructs individuals to trust in God for provision and it teaches people a strong work ethic. These are things that are not conducive to the ACLU’s ideal citizen. In short, religion creates a society of people who look not to government but to the Creator for support.

As the ACLU continues its assault on Christianity and limited government, every American must understand what is at stake: our liberty and freedom. Our hope as Americans lies in the foundations of America that, though undermined, still exist today. Though seemingly esoteric, the founding and moral principles present a hope to our country. George Washington said, "of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports." While it is these “pillars of human happiness” that the ACLU has sought to destroy, Americans have the ability stand up to the ACLU and reclaim America. Don’t let our rights be eroded, as they are being now, “a little bit at a time”. Things like socialized medicine and the power grab of the thinly veiled SCHIPS program are things that eat away at the foundations of our society. Things as seemingly unobtrusive as passing laws or allowing judges to use revisionist law to take away rights a little at a time with barely any notice is how it happens. Not in big extinction level events but in small nearly un-noticeable bumps. Please don’t be lead down the garden path by pie in the sky, “oh let government take care of you, we can administer socialized medicine, things will be just fine, or this ever elusive passage that people seem to think is in the constitution that we cannot have any religion when dealing with governmental workings. The passage is meant to keep government out of the business of religion not take all religion out of government”.
By the way, just in case anyone is actually interested in reading the first amendment, here it is.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Notice how nowhere does it say you cannot have religion in governmental matters, on the contrary, it specifically says the free exercise thereof, not the abolishment of. When are we as a country going to get a handle on this run-a-muck ACLU mentality and the disgusting over zealous PC crowd. Having said all this, there have been the rare occasions on which the ACLU has actually championed a noble cause instead of the usual ignoble. Those my friends are far and few between
